Inspired by the true-life story, on December 21, 1988, 259 passengers and crew were killed when Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie 38 minutes after take-off, with a further 11 residents losing their life as the plane came down over the quiet, Scottish town. In the wake of the disaster and his daughter's death, Dr Jim Swire, is nominated spokesperson for the UK victims' families, who have united to demand truth and justice. Traveling across continents and political divides, Jim embarks on a relentless journey that not only jeopardizes his stability, family and life, but completely overturns his trust in the justice system. As the truth shifts under Jim's feet, his view of the world is left forever changed. Exploring events from the disaster and its aftermath, Lockerbie: A Search for Truth provides an intimate account of a man, a husband, and a father who risks everything in memory of his daughter and the unflinching pursuit of truth and justice.
After losing his daughter in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, Dr Jim Swire begins a quest for truth, searching for why this was allowed to happen and exactly who was responsible for his daughter's death.
As Jim continues his campaign for truth and justice, two suspects are indicted for the bombing and his focus has to shift to the fight to bring the men to trial.
After twelve long years, the Lockerbie trial finally begins. But as the trial unfolds, Jim gradually begins to question the official evidence against the suspects.
Convinced they have the wrong man, Jim grows closer to the convicted Abdelbaset al-Megrahi. As he embeds himself within Megrahi's appeal case and the conspiracy theories swirling around it, he becomes increasingly isolated from his family.
Jim is left at a loss when Megrahi gives up his appeal in return for release on compassionate grounds. Questioning everything he has come to believe, Jim wonders if he will ever know the truth.
